Area Partnership Manager (Scotland) in Hamilton

At CAP, we celebrate diversity and strive to build an inclusive workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve. We warmly welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from Global Majority/UK Minority Ethnic candidates, as these groups are currently underrepresented within our wider workforce. We are committed to creating an environment where every individual can thrive and feel they belong.

Everything we do is rooted in our values. First and foremost, we are Christ-centred. The work that we do is guided by faith and the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and God’s love. We are bold in fearlessly putting that faith into action to help others and challenge injustice, while also seeking to be compassionate in the way that we want to understand others and offer them meaningful care. We are collaborative in our approach, making time to learn from others and work together to take on UK poverty. And finally, we prioritise being joyful in the face of challenges, because our faith gives us confidence that change is truly possible.

Please note this is ideally a full-time role, but we would consider 4 days per week depending on candidate circumstances - salary would be paid pro rata for part-time. Although the role is hybrid, candidates would be required to work from our Blantyre office one day a week, on Thursdays when we gather as a team.

Job Description Purpose

As a core member of our Scotland Hub team, you'll be the on-the-ground catalyst for empowering and developing debt centres and coaching services (Job Club, Life Skills and Money Coaching) within an appropriate area of Scotland. You'll serve as the primary contact between churches and our Scotland Hub, providing vital support and driving excellence in services.

Your key focus will be to inspire, equip, and encourage local CAP workers and church leaders, enabling them to effectively address financial vulnerability and crisis within their communities. You'll build and nurture strong relationships with church leaders, debt coaches and group coaches, ensuring high-quality service delivery and impactful outcomes. You will build and develop strong local networks connecting centres and services together in specific Scotland-wide settings including overseeing our growing work in Scottish Prisons.

Passion

Area Partnership Managers will be passionate about developing our relationship with churches and local CAP workers to offer life transforming CAP services to local communities across the UK, whilst giving clients the opportunity to hear and respond to the love of Jesus.

Person

Area Partnership Managers (Scotland) report to the Scotland National Leader. This role sits within the Service Delivery directorate. This role doesn't have any CAP staff reporting directly to it. However, this role is responsible for engaging local CAP workers and church leaders in churches, using influence and persuasion rather than position power. This role specifically focuses on supporting CAP services in Scotland, the exact mix being determined by the make-up of the team. It is expected that the Area Partnership Manager is a hybrid role based out of our Scottish office in Blantyre. This role involves a significant amount of travel to visit partner churches, centres and services across Scotland. In addition, there will be termly visits to CAP’s Bradford hub.
